Dexter (Consul 263)
Dexter (perhaps Egnatius Dexter Maximus ) was a Roman politician and senator in the mid 3rd century AD.
In 263 Dexter was an ordinary consul with Nummius Albinus .
Perhaps Dexter led the Cognomen Maximus , which is mentioned both in Prosper Tiro and in an inscription together with an Albinus. However, this could also mean the consulate of the year 227, when Marcus Nummius Senecio Albinus and Marcus Laelius Fulvius Maximus Aemilianus were consuls together.
François Chausson considers it possible to see him as a cousin of the Emperor Gallienus and identifies him with an Egnatius Dexter , to whom Herennius Modestinus dedicated the books De Excusationibus .
